Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens - Nikon USA Warranty

The Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor is a long-range wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for Full-Frame and APS Nikon DSLR cameras. Featuring a 10.7x zoom lens and focus to 18 inches, the lens is an outstanding choice for travel photography, family photography, macro photography, sports and action photography. It is well-suited for both professional photographers and enthusiasts, especially thanks to its next-generation Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, which adds approximately 3.5 stops of blur-free handheld shooting. Thanks to its long range it can replace several lenses, while its Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is fast, accurate and quiet, making it a good choice for both still photography and HD video. What you should know about this lens: • For FX and DX Nikon DSLRs: The lens is compatible with both full-frame (FX) and APS-sensor (DX) Nikon cameras; on a DX DSLR, the lens provides a 35mm field of view equivalent to 42-450mm. • Excellent Optics: The Nikon 28-300mm lens features two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberration at all apertures, resulting in sharp images with accurate color. Three aspherical lens elements eliminate other aberrations, and Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission to reduce flare. Lens elements have been engineered for edge-to-edge sharpness in both APS and 35mm formats. • Vibration Reduction (VR): Second-generation image stabilization technology is used here to reduce camera shake by 3.5-4 stops, making this lens a good choice for low-light photography. • Quiet AF: Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is fast, accurate and quiet, for quick focus acquisition for still photography, while its near silent operation makes this lens a very good choice for HD video. Internal focusing means the lens length remains constant even when focusing, so working distance of lens to subject remains consistent.
